Flight control method using wind data from airplane trajectory
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps ofproviding data related to wind, and sending data related to wind to a subscriber,wherein the step of providing data related to wind comprises providing a wind data set including wind data of a plurality of positions, and in that the method further comprises the steps ofreceiving data for a predicted airplane trajectory,providing, based on the wind data set, a set of wind data elements, each including data concerning wind at a position along the predicted airplane trajectory,selecting from the set of wind data elements a subset of wind data elements,creating, based at least partly on the selected subset of wind data elements, a wind profile along the predicted airplane trajectory,comparing the wind profile to the set of wind data elements,repeating the steps of selecting a subset of wind data elements, creating a wind profile, and comparing the wind profile to the set of wind data elements, andselecting to be sent to the subscriber a subset of wind data elements based at least partly on which a wind profile was created corresponding to the largest extent to the set of wind data elements,wherein the step of sending data related to wind to the subscriber comprises sending to the subscriber the subset of wind data elements selected to be sent.

Abstract
The invention involves a method comprising the steps of
- providing (S3) a wind data set (3) including wind data of a plurality of positions,
- receiving (S4) data for a predicted airplane trajectory (311),
- providing (S5), based on the wind data set (3), a set of wind data elements (302), each including data concerning wind at a position along the predicted airplane trajectory (311),
- repeating steps of selecting a subset of wind data elements (302S), creating a wind profile (303), and comparing the wind profile (303) to the set of wind data elements (302), and
- selecting (S10) to be sent to a subscriber (2, 4) a subset of wind data elements (302S) based at least partly on which a wind profile (303) was created corresponding to the largest extent to the set of wind data elements (302).

11. A computer program comprising non-transitory computer readable code means causing a computer to perform the steps of
providing, based on a wind data set including wind data of a plurality of positions, a set of wind data elements, each including data concerning wind at a position along a predicted airplane trajectory, selecting from the set of wind data elements a subset of wind data elements, creating, based at least partly on the selected subset of wind data elements, a wind profile along the predicted airplane trajectory, comparing the wind profile to the set of wind data elements, repeating the steps of selecting a subset of wind data elements, creating a wind profile, and comparing the wind profile to the set of wind data elements, and selecting to be sent to a subscriber a subset of wind data elements based at least partly on which a wind profile was created corresponding to the largest extent to the set of wind data elements.
